New Feature: Google Drive Uploader

Is there an easy way for my clients and customers to upload files through my marketing automation platform?

Will I be able to trigger automation if they upload a file?

And will I be limited by the number of files I can have uploaded or how big the file is?

With Google Drive Uploader, you’re able to create an easy process for your customers to upload files to your Google Drive using your marketing automation platform. We’ve included a number of additional features that make this feature flexible to handle a wide variety of circumstances any small business could face.

Google Drive Uploader allows you or your contacts to…

Upload multiple files at once

Upload larger files up to 5TB in size

Rename files automatically to fit your naming conventions

Easily find specific files for any contact

The PlusThis file upload wizard makes it easy to build a step by step process based on the number of files you need uploaded by the contact:

In this fashion, it’s easy to walk your customers or prospects through the necessary steps required to obtain the files you need. As you can see, renaming files in this process is straightforward, even giving you the option to use merge fields.

Next, we store a link to the Google Drive folder on the contact record in a custom field.

This makes it easy for you to track down any files your contacts have uploaded.

Next, we give you the html code to put on your site or other places. This is where you’ll send someone to upload their files.

Lastly, you just need to send people to this page using the url PlusThis gives you.

Your files now show up on your Drive under the PlusThis folder.

You can also find the file by clicking the link in the contact record’s custom field.

And that’s it. Super simple and efficient.

We hope this helps make the file uploading process less of a chore. Happy to answer any questions in the comments below.
